WELCOME BACK TO OUR 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR!!

Welcome back to Bethel Elementary! I am so excited about the start of another great year! I want to tell you about my summer and how this will relate to Physical Education this year and share some information with you!

I was very fortunate to vacation in Colorado Springs in July and visit one of the three US Olympic Training Centers! I am looking forward to sharing my experience with all of “my kids.”

I also attended the National PE Institute for an entire week! What a great learning experience! We will play some new and exciting games! Can’t wait!

Our bicycle rodeo for FOURTH grade will be the week of September 10th. More information to come as we get closer to the date!

Mr. Sebastyn (PE teacher from Jonathon Valley Elem.)will team teach with me this year on Wednesdays! Mr. Ray will be with us again on Mondays! Mrs. Swanger will not be with us this year! We will miss her!!

I will be attending a Cross-fit workshop in Charlotte over a weekend! I’m very excited about this opportunity to learn how this can benefit “Our Kids” We are always looking for new and exciting ways to take care of our bodies for our lifetime!

We are piloting a grading system this year! The program is called Virtual PE! I’m excited for this opportunity!! Third thru fifth grades will receive a Physical Education Report card!! More to follow on this as the new year unfolds! A letter explaining the process will go home with our third thru fifth grade students within the first few weeks of school!

ONCE AGAIN, WELCOME BACK TO BES! WE ARE BETHEL THE BEAUTIFUL, BEHTEL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
